Directed by Pat Collins
With Barry Ward, Anna Bederke, Lalor Roddy
Not Rated, 111 minutes, DCP

Based on internationally acclaimed Irish author John McGahern's award-winning novel of the same name, That They May Face the Rising Sun is set in a 1980s rural community in Ireland and, like the novel, is a vivid evocation of nature, humanity, and life itself. Joe and Kate Ruttledge (Barry Ward and Anna Bederke, respectively) return from London to live and work among the small, close-knit community near to where Joe grew up. Now deeply embedded in life around the lake, the drama of a year in their lives and those of the memorable characters around them unfolds through the rituals of work, play, and the passing seasons as their enclosed world becomes everything.
